Cinema 4D and AE Animated GIF Tests

Chuck Anderson posted this site called DVDP in his twitter feed and I have been obsessed with it all weekend. I have been learning how to make things loop properly in Cinema 4D and how to make Animated GIFs using Photoshop. It’s been pretty fun.

I love the short turnaround time for something like this. Not a huge project or big render times. Just a way to try something fun and make it cool with as few frames as possible. I hope to do more soon.

Guys I have a question. How can I render with this kind of good quality,animation?I want to make animated banner for my web site, but when I render in GIF it renders with bad quality.Is there any options to render it in good quality with After Effects?or maybe I have to render it with other format, like SWF?Tell me please.

I too have been obsessed with cinemagraphs for the past while. Strange that you posted your gifs, as I have been playing around with the same thing lately.
There are some very inspiring examples at http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com/.
Keep up the great work!

Hello, i,m having problems uploading this gifs to web…after made my own one i tried to upload to my tumblr that i know that have support for gifs…No matter what i tried the animation doesn,t display only the first frame.i thought i was doing something wrong in my process of creation, so i decided to upload one of your gifs to my tumblr only to test…well the gift ddidn,t move….had anyone the same problem?
I tried with safari and chrome,no lucky.
cheers!

Rather than uploading it, You can test to see if your animated gif works by simply opening it with a browser (right click, open with). If that doesn’t work, you may have missed a step in photoshop.
Best, Steve

try to compile the animated gif in photoshop, because there are tons of options to get the look you want. make sure to load in the full 24bpp sequence beforehand, adjust the framrate/looping etc. and then head over to the “Save for Web & Devices” dialogue. Max out “Dither” with “Diffusion” selected, uncheck transparency & interlaced, matte to none, color = 256 ofc, Lossy = 0 and Web Snap = 0.
Hope it helps =)

Question A)
Does somone knows some kind of golden rules for choosing the right frame rate?
DVPD uses diffent frame rates for different motives. I would believe it could have to do with some sophisticated algorithm thinking.
Question B)
Is there anybody out there who can tell us how to loop fluffy pyrocluster or TP clouds on/in a sky object material? I’m not afraid of Xpresso.

You would be safe working in the standard frame rate (30fps) within C4D, then when you composite in AE, you can cut than in half. Cartoon/Animation standards used to be 12 and 15fps. You would generally be safe using one of those.
